I like the formatting adaptation on this page! Especially, the micro-formatting of each indented paragraph and its subtopic. This technique is applied heavily in print books and technical journals (long dense form) even today, where each accent on the "structured text" adds on to the groove of line-tracking on page. Looks great, works great on print. However, online scrolls are terrible at long-form. And that's because scrolls animate in a direction that's orthogonal to the reading direction. A vertically animating scroll rips apart our ability to read along a track. Meaning, no line-tracking. Since scrolling itself works against the grain of saccadic perception, animating structured text vertically only adds on to that difficulty of reading online. I mean, as long as the web is a scrolling paradigm, a poetic structure would work better since its ragged left and right edges would help people track their position on the story better.
